REIMAGINING EDUCATION FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. THE SENSEI PROJECT: AN EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE ON TEACHER TRAINING AND CULTURAL COEXISTENCE

In a Europe marked by new inequalities, polarisation, and democratic fragilities, rethinking schooling also means rethinking how we live together. Reimagining Education for Social Inclusion and Human Development emerges from the experience of the European SENSEI project and offers a broad, rigorous reflection on how teacher and educator education can become a concrete lever for building learning environments that embrace plurality, prevent exclusion, and transform conflicts into opportunities for growth. Bringing together contributions from scholars, teachers, and teacher educators working in different contexts, the volume interweaves theoretical perspectives and pedagogical practices, with particular attention to history education as a crucial space where identities, senses of belonging, and narratives of “us” and “the other” are constructed. Inclusion is understood as a systemic and relational process, involving school cultures, educational policies, and everyday practices. Addressed to teachers, educators, school leaders, university students, and researchers, the book offers practical tools, examples, and models of hybrid professional development and self-paced learning, designed to support educators and learning communities in their everyday work.
